Answer:

Silk cloth was extremely valuable in Ancient China. Wearing silk was an important status symbol. At first, only members of the royal family were allowed to wear silk. Later, silk clothing was restricted to only the noble class. Merchants and peasants were not allowed to wear silk. Silk was even used as money during some Ancient Chinese dynasties.

Keeping Silk a Secret

Silk became a prized export for the Chinese. Nobles and kings of foreign lands desired silk and would pay high prices for the cloth. The emperors of China wanted to keep the process for making silk a secret. Anyone caught telling the secret or taking silkworms out of China was put to death.

After winning independence, Mexico Developed a Trade relationship with the United States.
Not the only United States is the closest nation from Mexico, but we're also the country that has the most capital in the world. So it would be a very good decision for Mexico to form a trading relation with the United States in order to bring profit to their country.
